Parent Newsletter - April 2017

Dear Parents/ Guardians & Families:

Yes! April is here and as you all know your child just took the New York State English Language Arts and is about to take the Mathematics exam over the course of the next four weeks. Parents please help your children get ready for the state exams. The NYS Mathematics Test will be on the May 2nd, 3rd and 4th. Attendance is crucial for these dates. As we all know if your child misses this exam it puts him or her in jeopardy to repeat the grade. Mr. Echavarria will be making wake up calls for the next two weeks to remind students to come early for these exams.

The Learning Environment Survey is very important for your child’s school. The Department of Education carefully reviews parents answers and uses the results of the survey to make improvements in the schools, increase opportunities for students, and to continue to raise expectations for learning and safety. For more information on filling out the school surveys please contact Mr. Echavarria 718-583-6767 or look for updates on this website.
